Chad-Libya Border War

In the past two weeks, I've read two articles this month about the Libya-Chad war - in the NYTimes and New Yorker.  Frank Jacobs wins this round as he not only uses the word "transmogrifications", but his article also contains the phrase, "byzantine history of these internecine acronyms".  However, Anderson does get bonus points for re-telling a Qaddafi joke with the punchline, "‘The Armenian resistance—very strong.’ ”

ROCK.
